A care worker from Coventry was left with four eyebrows after getting permanent brows tattooed in the wrong place.

Like many a noughties teenager, Tyne plucked her eyebrows away to nothing. At just 15, she tried to fix the problem by getting permanent eyebrows tattooed on instead.

However, she got the permanent makeup done at a time when she was still growing (and before the legal age of 18). And, when her natural eyebrows started to grow back, she realised the tattoos were in the wrong place, leaving her with a double brow.

‘My eyebrows are horrendous,’ she says on the latest episode of Channel 4’s Bodyshockers. ‘I have my natural set and then tattooed eyebrows above.

‘One is higher and thicker than the other, one is thicker, one is thinner. I am stuck with four eyebrows. They are the biggest mistake I have ever done in my life. I am willing to go through anything to get a natural look.’

Her problems all stem from over-plucking as a youngster, starting at the age of 10. When she was growing up in the mid-noughties, the skinny brow was king, before Cara Delevingne rescued us from our tweezers and brought the chunky brow back circa 2014.

When she first had the permanent makeup done at 15, Tyne loved having her eyebrows back. ‘At first I loved them, it was the answer to my prayers. I thought that was it, I wouldn’t have to worry ever again,’ she recalls.

But, she was still growing and, two years later, her natural brows had grown back underneath the tattooed set. ‘That was when I realised my tattooed eyebrows were in completely the wrong place,’ she explains.

For the last three years, she’s spent around two hours a day hiding her double brow and can never go out in public without makeup on. ‘It is a nightmare. I spend £150 a month buying different products to cover it up, it costs a fortune,’ she says.

She is now undergoing laser removal surgery to break down the pigmentation in her tattooed brows, so that they eventually disappear.

She will probably need between five and eight sessions of the painful laser treatment, but she says she is prepared to endure any amount of pain to get rid of her extra set of eyebrows.

‘I will be glad to see the back of my double eyebrows. I will go through whatever I need to do remove them,’ she said.
